I hv tried all of those and only KI4 is giving me some problem with data connection being unstable.
By far KI8 and KI3 both are stable and KI8 has slight advantage being smoother but comparatively data connection tend to hunt more often between 3G and H+.
Now I'm using BOKJ2 and data connection log-on to H+ most of the time. I'm a happy man again!

Let me try to kill your curiousity. Why do you need to know such info? Simply so you can flash the newest rom? So you can flash the most official rom? Or because you want to know which of them work the best? Well... they all work, frankly I cannot even tell the difference in speed or smoothness between any of them. You want the newest? Well do you even know what the newest has to offer? Well let me enlighten you, barely anything. So little that you cannot tell the difference other than one saying 2.3.5 or 2.3.4. Official? Well as far as I am concerned, if you are going to go try flash a rom that you cannot get from KIES, it is a leak. So why did I do this? It's like a high schooler asking how does the printf function work. For now, just don't think about it.
A simple search will find the answer you want about the naming of each Rom. Month and build.
The link you were given above will tell you exactly what you asked about which is latest and best.
Latest is different for each region via keis but intratech has posted them as they have surfaced worldwide. He says as much in that thread.
Best is always subjective.
Grab a beer/coffee, kick back and read read read.
Don't end up being one of the people who insist on being spoon Fed flashing info without doing some research and learning only to turn around and complain because something went wrong.
Everything you need to know is on xda if you look for it. Wondering why it's hard to find answers?? Because of posts from the spoonfed people clogging everything up.
Have fun flashing.

I have been using all day to try to update my sgs2.
I unrooted the device and uploaded a stock firmware to the phone, and thought kies would help me now..
but kies says that this device does not support updating with kies ???
I am currently running :
PDA:I9100XWKF3
PHONE:I9100XXKE7
CSC:I9100XEUKD1
2.3.3 android.
I would like to go for 2.3.5 or newer .. but i dont know what file to use... as im not sure what is right for me.
Im located in denmark/Europe..
Dont mean to be rude, but Come on man... go to development thread and read a bit first. This way you would know how to update/fix ur device if sth goes wrong and not wait for help from anyone
It took me 15 min to read then flash new room, root it and feel great that i have learned something

I couldnt agree more...
But i have been reading all day long, and im not sure if its ok to flash the I9100XXKI3 file into the phone ....
i dont see anywhere it says how to determine what file is safe for the ohone going from one firmware to a newer version..
i KNOW that my firmware is XWKF3 ... but the new... must it just be named something hihger like KI3 ? (i is higher than f) ..
Im so tired of spending all day with this ... i have earlier made LOTS of Wii softmods, xbox mods, etz, so thats why its so confusing spending all this time on this..
please just help me get the newest dk / european file for my phone, mr teacher
Once again all is safe if you read and follow the deatails.
firmware look for firmware for i9100 android 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 is the current android.
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 or here http://www.sammobile.com/ now read its that easy.
If you cant find what you need from these 2 links flashing is not for you.
Posted in wrong subforum and all info is in the threads mentioned.
Not so hard

hey have any of you guys installed a custom roms on the SGS2 i have the phone rooted and i was contimplating installing a custom rom just wanted you guys information on how safe it is to do so. I was acutally looking for a nice ICS custom rom but apparently i would need one for my kernel(XWKL1). What would happen if i install a custom rom of ICS ment for a different kernel would it brick my phone?
thanks in advance for any information.

probably but you are better off reading and learning before bricking your phone
ICS is yet to be released but we do have a buggy leaked ICS test rom you need to know how to recover before flashing .

Yes it is safe if you know what you're doing and for you that means don't go anywhere near an ICS ROM try a Gingerbread ROM first but before you do that read and read and search and search.
Just practising my speed typing....
wow thanks for such a quick reply so for example if i were to install the Omega rom i would need to get one for my kernel version only right? Then if would need to revert all i need to do is flash my old insecure kernel back and i would be back.
edit: - i didnt see B3311 post. ok i am a lil confused now if i were to install a custom rom ment for a differnt kernel would it work or would i brick my phone?
Kernel version doesen't matter.

Search, Read, Backup and try. Everything you need to know is in the threads. Please read friend that is the only way you get to learn. Look at me. Been reading upon the threads once i had my galaxy s2 just before xmas and i have read upon two months before i got my phone. Now even though i only joined recently i know near enough what i need to do regarding as rooting and flashing roms and themes go. But i still search whenever i can for what i need before i have to ask questions. And most of the time it is right there infront of you. Also another thing if you think the search engine is crap on xda use google. Most of the times it gives you what you are looking for.
Not having a go but today mininum have been two three threads what rom is the best and what one to use and so on. Anyway good luck with the flashing and hope you enjoy whatever you choose

True but even with all the reading at least you will feel more comfortable about going about and rooting the phone and flashing a rom. That way at least you do not have to expect others to spoonfeed the information to you. Also when you flash a rom for the first time you will feel great about yourself cause you did it all by yourself than asking others to help you. Hope that makes sense.. and to what you said also you have a great point and i always read your posts when you help people JJe as you are one helpful guy.
Hey, I just contacted Google and advised them to remove the Google search widget that comes standard on every android phone's home screen.
It useless I told them, nobody seems to even notice or use it. Heck, why search when you can just ask?
Still waiting for there reply.

to be clear i never asked which rom was the best and which one to use. I have been reading up on all the different roms available i have narrowed it down to the ICS and the Omega rom and i know how to flash the roms the instructions there are quite clear my only query was about the kernel version for which i could not find a solution. Now i have another question since you guys are saying the kernel version does not matter then why are they country specific and suppose i use a kernel ment for USA would that mean when ics finally got released here for the sgs2 i would need to reflash my phone with the gingerbread 2.3.6 version before i could get the official ICS update from kies?

let me make this clear. Different variants of the s2 hence why you see different forums. If you have an international version then you are safe to flash whatever you want in this forum here. So if you see USA version I would steer clear it as it has nothing to do with the international version if that makes sense. Regarding your other question well yes flash BBL to stock official ROM and that is it

The kernal is not related to country or carrier. The csc is.
Practically all custom roms come with working kernals and modems for the rom.
As for getting the official upgrade, you can reflash your original firmware, but most here just download the new official firmwares from the Intratech thread or sites like sammobile and flash it with Odin. No need for kies. I don't use it at all except for when I first got the S1 in 2010.

i have installed your link but??
the screen always stays same on the phone (Sony ercicsson make.believe)
nothing happen ?:İ(
my brothers i have solved the problem
i would like to thank miliions times who have contributed to fix this annoying problem.
Solution:
1-you should have 2.3.4 android version.
2-you need to mount below kernel in flash mode
http://www.mediafire.com/?7g6gz2mpp1ljb46
and thats all very easy but:
The critical line is that im not aware of it and i think most people in this site as well
..
the most important thing YOU SHOULD INSTALL A COMPATIBLE KERNEL WITH YOU STOCK OR CUSTOM ROM IF NOT YOU WONT BE ABLE TO OPEN YOUR PHONE
IT WILL ALWAYS STAY THE SUCH AS XPERIA OR SONY ERICSSON SCREEN
TO AWOID SUCH CASES BE CAREFULL AND BE AWERE OF THAT YOU INSTALL THE COMPATIBLE KERNEL WITH YOUR ROM
thank you!
Tbh if you don't know anything of kernel/rom compatibility you really shouldn't be flashing anything.
This is not a personal dig, just kills me the number of posts like this, where folk say they didn't know.
101 for anything firmware related, understanding the process and having a backup plan as things can and do go wrong
Most devs post recommended kernel either in Rom or in the post.

HI everyone, I've been here for some time, reading things most of the times, but now I've got a doubt, I'm hopping someone can explain to me.
My i9100 has in the Baseband version i9100BUKG1, which modem version can I flash on this baseband, I've been reading through the forums, and perhaps that information is somewhere around, but I can't seem to find it.
Suppose, I want to run CM9 or the preview of CM10 that has been release, what is the most indicated modem version for my i9100 that I should be running?
Thanks in advance to all of you.

the I717 is obviously the phone, but your UCLF5 or UCLA1 is your baseband or modem. many different modems will work with many different ROM's. some will work better than others. but you may want to use a modem that goes with your carrier.
the modems can flash just like you ROM.
whatever carrier you use, you didn't say, you can find all info in the "Super Everything Thread" for any questions. there is a link to everything there, even the color of shorts your wearing.
^^^Those are stock firmwares... modems and firmware match before anything's been done to the device.
Op:
The phone is an I717 it will run any firmware for...... the I717.

does that mean I was wrong in my post???
always learning and don't want to give bad advice
Not wrong...it just didn't answer the question.
I figure if I cant fully answer question, maybe I can steer them in right direction. if I cant do that, than maybe I can ask question which others such as yourself would chime in with a much more educated and solid solution.
I have followed your wisdom since the Infuse and glad to see you around here too.
The real question should have been why would you want to install an outdated ics leak when JellyBean is available and if you had to install ICS, there is I717UCLF6. But to fully answer the OP, YES.
To answer all of you guys' questions:
This phone is an AT&T phone that will be used abroad and not in the U.S. The reason I want to downgrade is because I'm looking for a Traditional Chinese ROM, and the custom ROM i found is the UCLF5.
I have one more question:
Do I have to get my current baseband to UCLF5 before I can flash that custom ROM? Or can I just flash it without changing my baseband?
Thanks
Rom only should do it
